Pepe Escobar - the BIG interview in Moscow, Mar 2023 with Charles Bausman

Pepe opens up about his background, career, his future writing, and of course, politics, reviewing the historic month he spent in Moscow in March, 2023, when Xi visited and sealed the Russia-China alliance with Putin against the globalist West, which Pepe covered. Recorded March 30, 2023.

He is one of the most widely-read geopolitical analysts in the world, chronicling the rise of the multipolar world, BRICS++ and the Global South. His twice weekly columns consistently receive over 150,000 pageviews, week-in, week-out, featured primarily on Zerohedge, Lew Rockwell, and Unz.com, but also Sputnik, RT, and many others, easily 10x more than his 'colleagues' in the lying media.

Due to his many years of telling the truth, Pepe had old relationships and a warm welcome, and obtained unusual access which the lying media could only dream of. He had in-depth meetings with foreign minister Lavrov, his famous spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, famous political philosopher Alexander Dugin, the economist crafting Russia's multipolar economic and currency policy - Sergei Glazyev, just to name a few, and other influential Russians who prefer to stay out of the public eye.

68 years old and a veteran journalist and foreign correspondent, getting his start with major Brazilian print newspapers in the 70s on a portable typewriter, he talks about his career, his start as a music and culture critic, his time in Los Angeles covering Hollywood, Washington DC, London, Iraq, the Middle East, and Asia, where he lived for 15 years. He explains why he thinks Moscow, not Beijing is the capital of the multipolar world, and why he plans to be based there in the forseeable future.

We had the studio for as long as we wanted, so had a chance to have a nice long conversation without interruptions.

He's old-school: educated, fluent in 5 languages, endlessless curious with a deep knowledge of the many countries and cultures he has studied- taking an interest not just in the politics, but the culture, music, languages, religions, traditions, cuisine. He is perhaps the most widely traveled man I know.

A genuine pleasure catching up with an old friend!
